Stardust and Shadows Posted by Terry on Dec 18, 2018
A while ago I came across yet another biography of Humphrey Bogart titled TOUGH WITHOUT A GUN: THE LIFE AND THE EXTRAORDINARY AFTER LIFE OF HUMPHREY BOGART by Stefan Kanfer.

The Puzzling Sin of Nora Moran The Sin of Madelon Claudet (1931), Sin Takes a Holiday (1930), The Sin Ship (1931) — pre-Code debauchery can be hard to keep straight — and I’m just referring to these sinful titles right now. That said, I could’ve sworn I’d seen The Sin of Nora Moran (1933) read more

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 18, 2018
It’s hard to have worse written characters than dialogue. Like, how can character motivation be worse than what the characters speak to show their motivation. The Sin of Nora Moran shows what it’s like to have worse characterizations than dialogue. It’s not pretty. What’s sort of frustrating read more

The Seventh Sin (1957, Ronald Neame)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 1, 2017
The Seventh Sin has three problems. The first is the third act; it’s too rushed. Given the constraints of the film production–a shot-in-Hollywood production about a cholera outbreak in a rural Chinese town–there’s not so much to be done about it. The film has a limited cast, especially once read more

HOTTER THAN SIN
Stardust and Shadows Posted by Terry on Apr 14, 2014
The next day at the festival was a hot as the weather yet still pretty cool for stuff to do. You have to make some choices in these things and sometime you guess wrong. Robert Osbourne gave us the anecdote that for years he had pushed the network to aquire the rights to a remake of DESERT SONG (1943 read more
Some Women Are Worth Killing For, Others… – Here’s The First Full Trailer For Sin City: A Dame To Kill For
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Mar 6, 2014
I found the first Sin City to be a quirky, highly stylized little thriller, though I also know quite a few people who didn’t like it for the exact same reasons I did. Either way, if this trailer is any indication, you’ll already know whether you want to spend more time there, because the read more
